Question

What are the different tasbeehat that we can recite in sujood besides سبحان ربي الأعلى?

Answer

Reciting سبحان ربي الأعلى in sajdah is established from the Hadith. Hence, it is sunnah to recite this tasbeeh in sajdah. Apart from this tasbeeh, it is reported in some Ahaadith that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) would at times recite certain duas in sajdah (e.g. when Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) performed his tahajjud salaah or nafl salaah). Some of the duas that are recorded in the Hadith are mentioned below:

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
